Everest Base Camp 17 Days

Khumbu (also known as the Everest Region) is one of three subregions of the main Sherpa settlement of the Himalaya, the other two being Solu and Pharak. Khumbu is part of the Solukhumbu District located in northeastern Nepal on the Nepalese side of Mount Everest and includes the town of Namche Bazaar as well as the villages of Thami, Khumjung, Pangboche, Pheriche and Kunde. The famous Buddhist monastery at Tengboche is also located in the Khumbu.

Due to its location in the Himalaya, the Khumbu's elevation ranges from 3,300 metres (11,000') all the way to the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest at 8,850m (29,035'). Sagarmatha National Park (above Monju) and the Sagarmatha National Park Buffer Zone (between Lukla and Monju) are enclosed within the Khumbu region. See Everest Base Camp Trek for the Nepalese trek to the foot of Mt. Everest, and Qomolangma for the Tibetan side of Mt. Everest.
